Show JUST A SHORT TALK ON 1 THE PICTORIAL ATLAS Prof. George A. Eaton, the well-known principal of the Salt Lake High School, has inspected Hammond's Pictorial Atlas of the World and gives it his cordial endorsement. HE EE IS PROFESSOR EATON'S LETTER: THE SALT LAKE TELEORAM: I have examined Hammond's Pictorial Atlas of the World and am very well pleased with It. The maps, while being recent, re-cent, comprehensive and accurate, abound in much useful information not found on the ordinary map. The Descriptive and Pictorial Gazetteer is especially interesting and instructive. instruc-tive. ! No home should be without an atlas, and I cheerfully recommend Ham j mond's to all who wish an up-to-date work of this kind. Yours truly, ! GEORGE A. EATON. Good evening! THE TELEGRAM has just made arrangements with C. S. Hammond Sc Co., map publishers, for the entire first edition from the presses of Hammond's 1007 Notorial Atlas of the World. This is the only entirely new atlas which has been made in the last five years; the geographical changes in this period hive bvn more mijortatt than in any previous period of corresponding length; all data has born taken from the latest official sources, and, as you will see, this is not a rehash of ,dd plates but an entirely new sot. made especially for quick reference of the busv man ! Here is our new map of the World on the Equivalent Projection. On this ! map all areas appear in their true proportion; take Greenland for instance; on the old stylo maps it appears larger than South America, whereas it has ' less than one eighth the area of South America. These linos are the meridians . by which the standard time of practically the whole civilized world is gov-I gov-I erned; meridians are placed fifteen degrees apart, which equals one hour of i time, making it easy to estimate the difference in time between anv sections ! of the globe, as all you have to do is to count the meridians. Take S'rw York j and Denver, for instance, the difference of time is about two hours; between New York and Alexandria, Egypt, the difference in time is seven hours. The I t routes of the principal stcamsuip lines with distances between ports are shown j i in red. I Here is the nev Railroad and Trade Center map of the T'nited States j and Canada; the important through railroads are designated by soli 1 black lines, minor roads by hair lines. The plan of presenting tho sie of places by ; svmbols is a new feature; for example, refer to Mississippi, and von see at a ' glance that there are three cities ot ever ten thousand population. Yicksburg, Meridian and Natchez. The new feature of naming places in type graded in size according to the importance of the place makes our State msps superior to al! others. The I ke- in the margin of each map makes this feature readily usable. Portland, j as vou will see, has over 50.000 population. I.owiston over 20,000, Auburn over 10,()o0. This method enables one to locate at a glance the important places on the map. Among the recent geographical changes we show the Japanese ownership of that portion of Sakhalin island below fifty degrees, as determined by the Treaty of Portsmouth. The new cable extensions of the last two vears: The new British Cable from Victoria, B. C. to Brisbane, Australia, and our own new ' able from San Francisco, via Hawaii. Midway, and Guam, to Manila. The two new Canadian provinces. Alberta and Saskatchewan, which recently re-cently came into existence, are correctly shown. Eight new counties were recently organized in Georgia Crisp, Turner, Tift. Gradv, Jeff Davvs. Toombs, Jenkins and Stephens. In Wisconsin, Gates county has been changed to Rusk. I Texas shows tho new county of Terrell and the important railroad extensions exten-sions south to Brownsville. The map of Utah shows th new cut-off of the Southern Pacific railroad across 8alt Lake from Ogden to TJmbria, one hundred miles over trestles. A comparison of this Atlas with any other on such subjects as the Philippine Philip-pine Islands. Porto Rico. Central America, The Canal Zone, Panama, Cuba, Western Canada, South America. Africa, Italy, Australia, etc., will at once convince vou of the extensive changes and additions to be found in Hammond's Ham-mond's Pictorial Atlas of the World.
